'have invented certain new and useful Improvements the following is a speci- Y ,prisesthe usual arched portion 9 having the two arms in Cooking Vessels, of which iication. f f l The present invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in cooking utensils and more particularly to that type comprising an outer vessel andan inner .perforated vessel received. within the whereby when the inner receptacle is removedv the said material isau'tomatically drained.

The invention contemplates novel means for handling the two vessels-either individually'or when asi sembledl in an operative position, and consists essen- Y reierenceis to be had to the following` description and accompanying drawings, in which:

'gure 1 is a perspective vlew of a cooking utensil embodying the present invention, the cover'being removed. Fig.' 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the device with the cover in position.) Fig. 3

is a top plan view of the cover. Fig. 4 is aside elevavtion of the upper portion oi the'receptacle, the cover being shown as elevated by means of the handle.` Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the l following-'description and indicated in all the views ofl thedrawings by the same references characters..

Referring tothe drawings the numeral 1 designates the outer vessel or receptacle which may be of any suitable configuration and which is provided at its upper edge-"with the upwardly extending hooked ears 2 which as in the present instance are preferably arranged -diametrically opposite to each other.

hooked ears 2 previously mentioned extend upwardly` from the top of the -inner receptacle 3.. The cover 6 closing the mouth ofthe outer receptacle 1 fits between v the hooked ears 2 and is formed with slots or openings \7 receiving the hooked ears 5 upon the inner vessel.

This cover 'is also shown as provided with the usual ring or finger-piece 8 for manipulating the same. The bail employedfor handling the various elements comthereof connected by the cross bar 10, one end of which terminates in a laterallyl projecting hook l1 designed to engage with the ring or finger-piece 8 of the cover and to form a means for manipulating the` cover. This cross bar 10 has a detachable and interlocking engagement with the hooked ears 2 and 5 and is preferably formed with the crimped portions 12 for engagement with the hooks 2 and the corresponding crimped portionsl3 for engagement with the hooks 5. l

It will thus be apparent thatwhen the twovessels are in an assembled position the crimped portions 12 of the bail can be engaged'with the hooks 5 and the inner vessel thereby readily removed, or the crimped portions 13 can be engaged with the hooks 2 and the outer vessel moved in the usual manner. Should it be desired to engage the bail with both the outer and inner vessel the desired result can be accomplished by I turning the inner vessel until the' ears 5 are in alinernent with the ears 2..

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. The combination of a vessel, a cover for the vessel,

an arched handle detnchahly connected to the vessel, and means carried by the handle for lifting the cover when. detached from the vessel.

A 2.l The combination of a vessel, a cover for tlie vessel provided with a finger piece, an arched handle having a detachable connection with the vessel, and a hook carried by the handle for engaging the vlinger piece of the cover when the handle is detached from the vessel. f 3. The combination of an outer vessel provided with ears, an inner vessel received within the outer vessel and also provided with' ears, and n detachable bail. comprising a cross bnr having an interlocking connection with both u of the before mentioned sets of ears.

1. The combination of an outer vessel hooked ears, an inner vessel received within the on'ter vessel and also provided with hooked fears, and a detachable bail comprising cross bar designed to have-an interlocking connection with both of the before mentioned `sets 'of ears. l

The combination of an outer vesselp-ovi'ded with hooked ears, an inner vessel received within the outer vessel und also provided with hooked ears, a'nd a detachable bail comprising a cross bar provided with crmpe the before mentioned'ears. v

6. The combination of-an outer vessel provided' with provided with l portions designed to have an interlocking connection wit ears, n Vcover for the, seid vessel provided with a' linger piece', nn innervessel received within the outer vessel and provided with ears, an a detachable bail comprising a cross bar intermediate portions of whic. have` .an interlocking connection with the before mentioned ears, the said cross bnr being provided :1t its extremity with n hook adapted to engage tue finger piece of the cover.'

7. The combination of an outer vessel provided 'with' ears; n inner vessel Lreceived within thel outer vessel and 10 `also provided with ears, and a handle comprising a member designed to have un interlocking connection with either or bot.. of the before mentioned sets of ears.

In testil'nony whereof we aix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
